The Tumbeasts are now the official Tumblr Error Pet, pretty much like what the Fail Whale is to Twitter. The Oatmeal (actually Matthew Inman) is responsible for the creation of the artwork, originally named Tumblbeasts they were renamed Tumbeasts by the Tumblr Staff, hope we see these creatures less and less, but if Tumblr continues to grow, we doubt so. You can visit Tumblr New Error Page here.

First, Tumblr raised $ 25 million dollars in funding, almost two months later the first signs of that money getting invested start manifesting. A new hire, more precisely a Fashion Director (Were you expeting to hear the word Engineer?), Rich Tong, founder of weardrobe.com. According to Fashionista, Tong’s first idea was to send aroung 20 Fashion Tumblr bloggers to New York Fashion Week.
How were these fashion bloggers chosen?. Maybe the one that pasted more copyrighted pics, or the one who liked Elle magazine the most?. Probably just because these Tumblelogs in particular (among them are What I Wore, Peace Love Chanel and SarahZucker) have a huge base of followers.
Tumblr is also hosting the NYFW in a real time feed. Hope it doesn’t go down at all, since there seems to be some Media Partners content in there as well, and they are expecting a flood of unique visitors to their Tumblr “alternative channel” sites.
Is this the right move when comes to spend your investor’s greens?. Maybe an agreement with magazines to throw exclusive content for Tumblr would be better?. We will be waiting how the Tumblr Fashion community reacts once these Fashion bloggers start pouring fresh New York Fashion Week content into their Tumblelogs. If it happens to be explosive, Tumblr would show the Fashion Industry how influential they can be.
Is there anything such as Tumblr addiction?. We think so, since Reblogs, Likes and Followers, plus an extremely user friendly interface, that allows publishing in terms of a minute, makes Tumblr more a social network community than a simple microblogging platform. Even with the tumblarity function is currently offline, Tumblr users get obsessed trying to increase and check several times a day wheter someone has started to follow, making How Do I get More Followers on Tumblr one of the most common question on the internet. Also, trends like 30 day challenges and Tumblr Trains help with this addictive behavior.

Tumblr’s expansion plans are already taking place. While keeping their headquarters in New York City, the company opened new offices in Richmond, Virginia. It seems to be that their mobile developers and community support team are already in the area, so setting up new offices there seems like a good idea.
The specific building Tumblr chose to rooms was the Corrugated Box Building. The building design is not a novelty for tech companies, seems like a renovated warehouse.
The official inauguration will take place on January 13
What is the Tumblr Train?. Well, I won’t lie you, it’s just a scheme that Tumblr users do once in a while with the only purpose of increasing the followers figure. So no, the point here is not to follow someone else because you are interested in what he/she says, you just follow or reblog any kind of post type they wrote down and that’s it. This is one of the method that answers the question How Do I Get more Followers on Tumblr?.
Warning: Only Tumblrs that are already popular can start the follow train, otherwise noone will know of it. And no, it doesn’t matter whether it is a Thursday or Tuesday.
If you’ve been checking your Tumblr lately, you may wonder what is that new widget in your dashboard. It’s actually a contest being run by Photojojo and sponsored by Tumblr.

Tumblr added high resolution pictures option a 1 year ago. This gives you the chance to automatically add a link to a photo in your photo post pointing to the original sized version of the picture you uploaded to Tumblr. If you are currently doing this and even enable the option for Tumblr High Resolution Pictures but nothing happens, it means you are missing the code needed in your theme’s html.
